Economy class air travel is enough to enrage even the most mild-mannered of individuals. Between the lack of space and lack of consideration that much of the general public has, it is a recipe for discomfort and annoyance at the best of times. All it takes is one outrageous passenger to make an uncomfortable traveling experience, and nobody knows that better than the flight attendants who put up with them for their job. Customer service is bad enough on the ground, but the cabin pressure can take it to a whole new level.

This is something that has recently been underlined in a viral TikTok where a flight attendant with five years of experience laid out all the worst kinds of passengers to have on a plane. Viewers couldn't help but chip in with their own enraging stories, as well as recall embarrassing times they had accidentally committed flight faux pas. It's a minefield.
